Short Course News

Last weekend was held the Coliseum Classic race at RC Fun Park. Tekno RC team driver Derek Cathcart will dominate the qualifications in SC 4×4 and 1/8th electric buggy and takes both TQ. Cathcart easily wins in the both finals with a rather large gap to secure his victories.

Pro-Line introduces one of the most anticipated Truck bodies of all time: the all-new 2017 Ford® F-150 Raptor True Scale truck body for Short Course. Pro-Line has included all the scale detail into the body and sticker sheet for a highly detailed yet functional replica of the unreleased 2017 Raptor.

Transform your short course truck into a fire-breathing, road-crushing 1970’s muscle car with the all-new Pro-Line Desert Eagle body! Featuring incredible details like a supercharged V8 rising out of the hood, zoomie side pipes and twin roof & deck spoilers, the Desert Eagle is sure to turn heads whether you’re out bashing or at the track.

The Desert Eagle lets you deck out your SC truck in two completely different styles:

Use the desert grunge style decals to create a post-apocalyptic war machine complete with gnarly off-road tires (see below), light bars, jacked up rear body posts, or whatever else your imagination can conjure up.
If dirt and grunge aren’t your style, outfit your ride like the muscle car of your dreams. Use the included street rod style decals, slam the body posts down and tackle the street with 2.8” wheels (see below).
